NEW VIDEO: Zack Snyder & Gender!
Added 2020-12-06 05:30:50 +0000 UTCEDIT: updated with final version
Hope you're having a great Saturday evening! Here's a new video! I have a few technical things I still need to do before the final, public version (color, some sound, adding more subtitles), plus I will probably add a few more sentences here or there to clarify or expand on things. But for the most part, this is it!
Content warning: the first big section of this video is a lengthy discussion about sexual assault in Sucker Punch. There's a clear content warning a few minutes into the video (at the start of that section) with the timecode to skip it.
I'm excited to see what you all think. Let me know if anything is too harsh, or doesn't make sense.
Now that this behemoth of a series is out of the way, I'll be able to pump out some more reasonably sized videos, more often.

Hi, Maggie Mae! Thanks for making it clear to me why I felt hollow having seen Sucker Punch! Of all places that happened in New York City, the one and only time I've been in the U.S seven years ago. Watching this video I had several moments of thinking of what to say and then the next thing you said flushed them away. What remained was this: what if Zack Snyder was a side stream artist trying to make himself known? Would we not see through then? What is it that makes him opaque to everyone simply because he is mainstream? Opaque to everyone else but you, my dear Maggie Mae! You got his address loud and clear, I think.

2020-12-12 15:41:24 +0000 UTCI haven't watched any of these movies so it's great that I can get some insight to the insecure dude bro environment through such a thoughtful lens. This video made me increase my pledge, you deserve it!

2020-12-09 23:31:40 +0000 UTCOver on "Some More News," there's good bit of superhero analysis (including Zack) that you/people might enjoy as a companion piece to this. I really enjoyed it, and this. Fair warning; it's over 2 hours long... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yj-wc9qugGY&t=5010s

2020-12-09 23:25:43 +0000 UTCI hope you’re going to do an addendum after the famous cut finally comes out and is inevitably on a continuum with this misanthropic/misogynistic schlock. I mean it’s tiresome to point this out, but it’s nothing to do with box office even. This guy keeps getting money to make drab, largely unpopular movies because his worldview is in line with that of the present-day Hollywood money men. He and every other “terraform the planet”/“depopulate the universe” blockbuster is propaganda for their übermensch fantasies and greedy nihilism.

2020-12-09 22:20:51 +0000 UTCGreat video! I know it's a quick blurb but it's always interesting to see people talk about Black Widow being a monster because she can't have kids when I always took that discussion as her describing the full extent of what she went through in order to make her a monster, how totalizing it was, but how she's trying to move past that - just like she hopes Bruce will.

2020-12-07 23:30:04 +0000 UTCI like the video. There is an extra take that seems to have been left in by accident around 25:25.

2020-12-07 22:04:06 +0000 UTCIts so boring I dont think we even finished it. Thats one reason we were so glad Eric tackled it in their section lol

2020-12-07 00:27:17 +0000 UTCWe don't make that comparison directly, but its something that was definitely in the back of our minds. It seems VERY Brazil-inspired.

2020-12-06 20:56:34 +0000 UTCThe discussion of Babydoll's "liberation" by labotomy makes me think of Terry Gilliam's assertion that Sam Lowry has a happy ending in Brazil - that he escapes to the one place his tormentors cannot reach him. I've not seen Sucker Punch, though, so I'm not going to speculate further on this... and maybe you've already compared these (I'm new to your channel and haven't caught up entirely).

2020-12-06 20:49:49 +0000 UTCI can't get over how incredibly ugly Znyder's films are, absolute eyesores.
2020-12-06 20:40:22 +0000 UTCDoesn't need reshoots, but you definitely deserve the $70 million...
2020-12-06 20:38:48 +0000 UTCThat Jared Leto lol. He might just be the greatest and also worst actor of all time, all the time.
